Kia opened its quest in the Philippine Cup with a win against Blackwater. In the 1st half, Kia is struggling on the offensive end while Blackwater is capitalizing on Kia's struggles led by Sundae Salvacion, Paul Artadi and Alex Nuyles. Blackwater even finished the 1st half with a 13 point lead, but seems like at the start of the 2nd half the Kia Sorento had a renewed energy. Led by the hot shooting of LA Revilla the Kia Sorento was able to end the offensive drought. Reil Cervantes, Hans Thiele and Rich Alvarez also contributed for the Sorento's. LA Revilla led the Kia Sorento with 23-career high points while Reil Cervantes and Hans Thiele made 13 points each. Rich alvarez only has 4 points but his defensive presence made a huge factor for the rally of Kia in the 3rd and 4th quarter. Pacquiao also announces that he won't play the next games of Kia due to preparation for his fight against algeri. Kia is now 1-0 at the start of the PBA 40th season.
Ginebra Clobbered Talk N Text with a final score of 101-81. Led by the Twin towers Japeth Aguilar and Greg Slaughter, Ginebra was able to control the paint and also involve other teammates like Mac Baracael who scored 16 points. Kelly Williams led the Tropang texters with 20 points alongside Jason castro who got 19 points. But the effort from the Texters wasn't enought because of the defense and hustle shown by ginebra especially in the 2nd half. Newly acquired Joseph yeo was able to contribute for the Ginebra camp. Coach Jeff Cariaso is happy with his team's performance saying that they've taken care of the small things. Ginebra's next opponent will be Manny Pacquiao's Kia on October 25 at the Lucena City.
